I am looking for fun Halloween craft for four two year olds. I have found many Halloween crafts, but they all seem to be geared for older children. If you have any suggestions please send them I need to come up with one by Friday.
Thanks for all your responses I painted pumkins for our craft and the kids loved it. I also bought stickers for those who did not want to paint. We had such a great time thanks again for all your help.
This is one of my favorite sites for this age group:

You could get a piece of construction paper and paint the kids palms orange. Have them put their palms on the paper in a circle. This is the body of your pumpkin. Have them add a green stem.
Or Paint the kids hands black. Place one hand down and then the other. Make sure the palms are overlapping and the fingers are wide. Turn the paper so the fingers are facing down and out. This is a spider. Glue on 2 crazy eyes.
Make creepy spiders. Use 2 flat paper plates- a smaller one for the head and a larger one for the body. Color the plates/paint/use markers to make them black on both sides. Punch four holes on each side of large plate. Insert orange pipe cleaners into each hole for the legs. Glue on crazy eyes or make some out of white construction paper.
This website is also great

You can sort by age appropriateness. Cute stuff!
My daughter's daycare did a cute project (she's 16 months). Get white paint and black construction paper. Put their feet in the paint with the toes facing towards the bottom of the paper. Wipe off the paint in two small circles on the heel of the foot, and the footprints turn into ghosts.
My little ones (1 & 3) love sticking stickers on a pumpkin. I bought a bunch of Halloween stickers at Wal Mart, along with some small craft pumpkins, and gave them washable markers and stickers to decorate the pumpkins. They had a lot of fun.
Tomorrow is Halloween. I have four grandsons, two of which are three years old and one turned three last week on Sunday, October 24th.
For the first time I have found a way for both of my three year olds and my older grandsons (ages 7 and 11) to co-exist without sibling riverly, especially the two three year olds.
What I did was buy a pumpkin for each child (smaller ones for the younger children and babies and medium to larger one for the older children) and then gave them all colored markers and let them have at it. My "babies" had a ball coloring and scribbling on their own pumpkins while the older children did the same.
Once my babies did their thing and went to sleep, my older babies where allowed to carve their pumpkins.
My kids LOVE painting pumpkins! Just get some temper paint (not the washable kind, the regular kind is washable enough) and some foam brushes and let them paint. Use paper plates under the pumpkins and for the paint. When they're finished, sprinkle the painted pumpkins all over with clear glitter! The glitter makes them look beautiful no matter how the paint job looks!
I just bought a wooden cut out pumpkin with a stand-up piece that came with small markers to color at JoAnn's fabrics. It was in the little things they line up by the check-out. I think it was all of a dollar.

I bet they would be great at decorating Halloween sugar cookies! Maybe you could find pumpkin shaped cookie cutters too...if you find some, please let me know. 4 2 yr olds...you are brave!
My Better Homes and Gardens had a project that I want to do. You get paper doilies and they use black marker (it might have to be permanent or a paint pen) and take the doily down and use it as a stencil!
Hi C.,
Here are the instructions for EASY Tree Ghost.
1 white plastic trash bag per ghost
1 round balloon per ghost
1 rubber band per ghost
black paint or permanent marker
string or thin rope
1. blow up a balloon until it is as big as you would like the head of your ghost. (Don't make it too bog because then it may pop.)
2. Put the balloon in a plastic bag and situate it so that a corner of the bottom of the bag is at the top of the balloon.
3. tie the bag just below the bottom of the balloon.
4. Draw a face onto the balloon with your paint or marker. The bag should be tied tight enough so that the surface is shaped evenly with the balloon.
5. Make a hole in the top of the bag (make sure you don't get the balloon) just large enough to insert the rope or string. Tie the string tightly & hang from a tree branch.
Have Fun!

Hi. I just did this one with my three year old yesterday. All you need is kleenex, small rubber bands and a marker.
Take 2 kleenex and wad it up in your hand in to a ball. Take a 3rd kleenex and put the "ball" into the middle and squeeze under the ball. Wrap the rubber band under the ball a couple times. Use a marker to draw a face on the ball. This is super easy and makes cute little ghosts. In fact, I remember making these from when I was really young. Fun and Easy!

We bought the real small pumpkins at walmart and let them paint, marker, glitter glue, glitter, paint, glue pom pom balls, feather, googlie eyes, and just about anything in the house to the pumpkins...they are great and my 2 nd 4 year olds are in love with them!!! And very proud...
They keep adding things such as sticker and markers to them!!
Wonderful!
I like to buy some of the small baby pumpkins and let my daughter paint them. I saw someone else around my block had their kids color on them with markers.
You can decorate mini pumpkins with various items like masks, feathers, glue-on eyes or adhesive felt pieces pre-cut into face shapes, glitter, hats, etc. They won't have to do any cutting or drawing, just placing items on the pumpkins.
